The first weather warning has come into effect for seven counties, with ‘heavy rain with thundery downpours’ expected.
“This is a dynamic storm system, intensified by the jet stream leading to some uncertainty as to the potential track and intensity of Storm Betty.”
Irish forecaster Met Eireann had upgraded its Status Orange rain warning for seven counties, which has now come into effect for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford.The forecaster has warned that the weather conditions could lead to localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions and wave overtopping along coasts.
This could lead to structural damage, falling trees, travel disruption, power outages, and localised flooding, according to Met Eireann. The stormy weather brings the risk of thundery downpours on Friday, as well as strong winds along eastern-facing coasts.The weather agency said south to southeast winds, veering southwesterly, will reach storm force 10 and occasionally violent storm force 11 for a time on Irish coastal waters from Carnsore Point to Dungarvan to Mizen Head.
